Paradise Islands - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Born of Fire
Southeast Asia's islands are an extraordinary world of tree climbing kangaroos and boxing pigs, where birds hatch from the ash of erupting volcanoes. The region's biological richness is the result of a violent collision between two different worlds, millions of years in the making. This is the story of how the violent power of the Earth has created a realm of unparalleled biodiversity and beauty.
Sun Kings
One force rules over the islands of Southeast Asia more than any other. It makes snakes fly and apes sing. It turns some trees into towering giants and others into stealthy killers. It is the awesome power of the tropical sun. This is the story of how, in these ancient rainforests, the sun's energy sustains the greatest assemblage of life on Earth.
Creatures of the Moon
The richest seas in the world surround the islands that lie between Asia and Australia. The power of the moon is still felt beyond the range of the tide. Tidal currents sweep across coral reefs, bringing plankton, and making the reefs the richest on earth. This is all the product of the moon and millions of years of evolution.

Storage Wars
Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.
Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
Taskmaster
Tom Gleeson stars as the Taskmaster, with Tom Cashman his devoted assistant. Each week the two Toms set five comedians a range of ridiculous tasks designed to bamboozle brains and put funny bones to the test.
Who'll master the tasks? The cleverest clogs will score the most points from the Taskmaster, while bemusement and bafflement will be rewarded with the fewest points. At series' end, the comedian with the most points will be crowned Taskmaster champion.

Doc

She can rely only on her estranged 17-year-old daughter, whom she remembers as a 9-year-old, and a handful of devoted friends, as she struggles to continue practicing medicine, despite having lost nearly a decade of knowledge and experience.
